The North Atlantic / Apex Signal 76CS1-020CRAE08 is a PCI-based resolver signal simulation module engineered for precise synchro and resolver signal generation and measurement in test and measurement systems. This transformer-isolated module integrates S/D and D/S conversion capabilities, delivering 16-bit resolution across configurable measurement and stimulus channels with Type II servo loop tracking and extensive built-in diagnostics.
Technical Specifications
• Resolution: 16-bit
• Measurement Channels: Up to 8 S/D channels with Synchro/Resolver inputs, high-linearity digital velocity outputs, and angle change alerting
• Stimulus Channels: Up to 6 D/S channels with individual reference inputs per channel
• Configuration: Field-configurable measurement channels for single-speed or multi-speed operation with speed ratios between 2 and 255; stimulus channels support two-speed programmability with user-defined start and stop angles
• Reference Supply: Optional internal 5VA reference available
• Tracking: Type II servo loop processing enables full-accuracy tracking at specified rates
• Self-Calibration: S/D channels incorporate automatic self-calibration
• Isolation: Transformer-isolated channel separation
• Diagnostics: Extensive onboard diagnostics with Power-On Self-Test (POST)
• Channel Readout: Simultaneous latch feature for all channels
– Key Features
• PCI card form factor for direct integration into host computer systems
• On/off control for each stimulus channel
• High-linearity resolver velocity measurement outputs
• Angle change detection and alerting across measurement channels
• Field-programmable speed ratios up to 255:1 for multi-speed applications
– Typical Applications
Aerospace test systems, automotive resolver simulation, industrial synchro/resolver measurement, and automated test equipment requiring multi-channel resolver signal generation and acquisition.
– Compatibility & Integration
Part of the 76CS1 product family. Compatible with related modules including the 76CS1-040CS001, 76CS1-084CRA-94, 76CS1-022CRA-01, and 76CS1-044CRA-94. The 76CS3 series provides functional pin-for-pin equivalents for legacy 76CS1/76CS2 and 76CL1 applications.
